New Guy Sd

HAY! GUYS IM NEW IN THIS FORM AND I DON'T HAVE THE CAR YET IM GETTING THE CAR IN 3 MONTHS. WAY WAIT THAT LONG CAUSE I AM NEW ABOUT THIS CAR I NEED MORE RESEARCH WHATS THE BEST UPGRADE TO BUY FROM THE DEALER. THE MCS IS $20 TO $25 WRITE BUT IS IT WROUGHT TO BUY THE JCW THEN BUY THE AFTER MARKET FROM THE OUT SIDE HOW MUCH HORSE POWER WILL I GAIN. THOSE ARE THE THINGS IN MY MIND WRITE NOW, I OWN A 5 HONDA CIVIC SI IN THE PAST SO I CAN TAKE A PART THE HONDA ENGINE EASY IS THE MINI IS EASY TOO OR THE PARTS ARE EXPENSSIVE. LAST THING WHERE CAN I FIND THE SAN DIEGO GUYS HERE AND WHERE IS THERE HANG OUT PLACE.

No need to shout, tumal1.

Welcome to the tribe. Check out our performance modification threads for the aftermarket v. JCW horsepower wars. A MCS can comfortably and reliably develop 210hp+, which is very nice for the street and light track duty.

My Mini is on the ship right now and while I thought of the JCW, I decided against it thinking I would do things myself. A little knowledge later, I am going to do the Dinan route which will give you power, but at alot less expense and still be covered under warranty.

If you get the Dinan Boost, Throttle Body, Intake, Cam and Software you are looking at $2792 for parts plus 12.2 hours labor.

I couldn't even stand trying to read that. Use periods, commas, and other grammar structures and type with caps-lock OFF. After you change all of that, we *might* be able to help you.

And welcome!
